Can you shred carrots and apples for recipes or just for slicing. Thanks

Just slices, but you can make such paper thin slices that they can be used in place of shredded in a lot of recipes. It really is a great tool to have.

Yes you can shred anything as the blade is very sharp.. You can't shred very small items, but I use it all the time.

Assuming you don't allow the pulp from different produce to mix, you can scoop it out and use it in broths or baking recipes. Carrot pulp especially rehydrates well in soup or in carrot cakes. Berry pulp is decent over ice cream or on toast if you have enough of it, likewise with apple if you don't mind eating skin pieces. Otherwise, compost or discard it.

I haven't tried cabbage yet. It does a great job on shredding carrots, slicing peeled cucumbers, and shredding frozen green peppers. I definitely like mine.

I have used the salad shooter to shred carrots for carrot cakes for years. I usually put the carrots through twice to get an extra fine shredding.

Absolutely. We use it to shred carrots and cabbage for coleslaw, but if you use the larger slicing disc, it would be great for chopping veggies for soup, etc.This is a great product. We purchased it a year ago and it still works like new :)

Not sure about potatoes but we regularly use it to shred carrots for salads and such and it works great for that.

Yes. You can remove the piece that slices and cores. Then you would only peel the apple. You cannot core without slicing too.

You should be able to. I am very happy with my slicer. It has performed excellent for.me

Yes they work VERY if whole carrots cut in half... also works well for kale...one trick, do not wash the produce until ready to use keeps much longer! hope that helps

Chop them into smaller pieces but they don't have to be chopped too fine. Works well for chopping carrots!

I haven't used the shredder yet but I would think the same way as the slicer. And I love the slicer, especially for onions. But definitely use the grabber guard as instructions indicate or else you may cut your finger when you get down too far.

I have used two of them for slicing vegetable s for side dishes. I believe they are worth it.

You can:Peel separately - and I use it all the time for potatoes. It's not just for apples - big dinner, big parties - ten pounds of potatoes peeled QUICK! You could slice and core without peeling - but you couldn't just slice or just core - that's one mechanism. Or you can do all three. It really is the best priced gadget I have in my kitchen - bought one for my mum. Grand mum and mum-in-law. They all love it.

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

I shredded some purple cabbage and it did a very fine shred, not like you would find in a salad bar, but more fine. I thought it did a good job of it's a very fine shred that you're looking for.

They Are Sort Of Like A Duel Pizza Cutter. I Only Use It For Basic Salads. The Hardest Thing I've Ever Cut WithThem Is A Shredded CaRrot.

I blend baby carrots with apples and works very well, you just have to make sure you water up to the max line on side of glass...........
